It may be the Lessor's doing.

[But, yes, it is eating, isn't it? Which is a bit painful to waste- that poor cake. Ion does start to move, however, as watching isn't going to get it to stop.]

I understand. I will take care of the mess.

There is no doubt about that. Who else would cause something this ridiculous to happen.

[He is going to find something to get rid of the skeleton with because honestly he isn't sure he wants to get too close to it, not out of fear but out of disgust. He won't be long, he returns with a broom.] Well, it was this or a mop... [He is looking at his new weapon with mild distaste.]

[By the time Leon has returned, the skeleton has decided to take its time with the sink by turning it on and off as Ion is finishing up getting the cake off the floor. He does pause when he takes notice of Leon and his...weapon of choice.]

It's best to merely go with your judgement on the matter.

...the mop is wet.

[His life is spiraling out of control into a pathetic void that he sees no chance of crawling out of. What else is new? Was he even alive anyway? This is all too weird and he is about to drive away a decoration with a broom. He does suppose that things couldn't get worst. Well, they actually could and with that thought in mind he marches towards his enemy. At least it would be one less thing to worry about. Probably.]

[He points the broom at the skeleton which seems to either be ignoring him or it simply has yet to see him (it doesn't have eyes so that would make a lot of sense). But it's when he tries jabbing the thing with the broom that it seems to focus on him. And it's probably not happy but it isn't the first thing that Leon has upset so he simply isn't bothered by that as he keeps trying to get the skeleton to move.]

[The way that Leon holds his broom is something of interest to Ion but he focuses on the task at had. Maybe he's getting a bit worried with how the skeleton is reacting- though it's nothing too drastic.]

I don't think it intends to leave, Leon. We may have to go about this in a different way.

[He can't really say it is the easiest thing to handle, after all the length of the broom is different from any weapon he is use to but it would have to do. And at least he was getting some kind of reaction from the damn skeleton. Only he doesn't expect the skeleton to grab on to the broom and try to pull it away from him. And so begins some kind of awkward tug of war.]

You think? What gave it away?[He isn't going to give up on this however. The skeleton might be stubborn but then so is Leon.]

[It's either that what Leon has to comment on is either going to be ignored or Ion simply doesn't hear it in favour of feeling a bit more concerned over this. It's really as though the skeleton is a person. Ion takes a step closer, feeling rather aware that standing around isn't going to help much.]

It's a little cruel but it may be for the best to destroy it.

[Well, yes. He would get that done himself but it is a little difficult without a proper weapon. Despite the skeleton putting up a fight it is still a decoration so Leon does manage to free the broom from the skeleton's grasp. And since Ion finally got the idea of what he is trying to do, there is only one course of action to take now. It is time to try to destroy the skeleton.... with a broom.

A few violent swings and he reduces the skeleton into a messy pile of something on the floor. That is done.] I'll clean that up...

[But then!]

Why is it still moving?

[Ion does almost relax when it becomes a mess but one can't be too stupid and let that fly, can they? So it may be time to...try to move the body unlike in The Poltergeist.]

I don't know. Here, it may be best to move it outside. I'll be able to destroy the parts completely.

[He is going to infer from what Ion said that he is expected to move the damn thing. It's not something he is looking forward to, honestly. It might just be slightly creepy only for the fact that is kept moving as if it were trying to writhe back to life, when it in fact couldn't really be called a living thing.

Well, time to get a bag in which he begins to shove it in.]

... [Something is wrong here however, but hey a plastic bag it seems won't hold it in because a skeletal arm soon pops out.]

[And the automatic response is to...actually help Leon, now. It's the only thing that can be done. Ion reaches out to grab onto that arm and to try to gather up other parts- though it seems like something wants to slap him more than anything else. He ends up dropping a bone in all the hustle but he's eventually trying to move out of the kitchen with the armful of mess.]

[It doesn't seem they'll be getting far with what they have to drag out. Despite it seeming like a good idea the skeleton isn't exactly in pieces anymore but it looks to Leon that there is more skeleton than what they originally started with.]

[With getting outside, there is a full skeleton to greet them. If Ion hadn't been Ion, he would have thrown the arm that was trying to smack him at it but he settles for tossing it on the ground, instead.]

Where did this other one come from?

From the same place the first one came from...

Well, it must be true.

[This is a time when a lack of real weaponry and abilities really hurts and he can't help to find this whole situation vexing. There is also that first skeleton is pretty much back together so he is dropping the bag and backing away from it.] Let's head inside. [Before they follow.]

[Only sensible thing is to back up a bit but that's just going to welcome the skeleton back inside, isn't it?]

I'm sorry. I'll be asking you to go on inside. I'll meet you in a minute.

[Somehow, Leon gets the feeling the skeletons are looking for more than to just get inside the house. They were decorations, they shouldn't be bothered if someone destroyed them. He hesitates at first before heading towards the house.

He is aware that Ion has artes at his disposal but Ion is still a very out of shape looking person, at least from Leon's point of view. However there is nothing Leon can do without a real weapon. He'll back away but he has no intention of heading inside. He'll stand at the door crossing his arms. There is a chance he wants to see just what Ion can do.]

[Time for concentration. Hopefully such won't go to much waste but he's pressed for seconds with the bits of one skeleton trying to get itself together and the new friend. A hand is brought down to the ground without him losing balance as he makes use of bending those knees. You get the drill- a light show. Like in video games.

That leaves nothing behind. Success.]

[He slowly stands, stumbling slightly with a sigh following. Really, things can be worse. And not just in reference to his health or whatever.

Four skeletons are now gracing the front yard with their presence.]

[Well, that was fine. Ion is still out shape in his mind however. Why else would he stumble after that. Maybe Ion needed to ride that bike of his more often. Well, whatever maybe it is time to head back inside since the skeletons are gone. He opens the door but he much like Ion notices the new arrivals.

That isn't right.]

Ion, let's hurry inside...

[He doesn't have to be told twice. Ion's going to be quick with crossing the yard- hopefully Leon's getting the door open or something as it seems that there is vengeance they possibly desire.]

[The door is open, Leon is just waiting for Ion to get himself inside. Of course it isn't like the thought of leaving Ion outside hasn't crossed Leon's mind but he isn't terrible enough to actually leave Ion out there. Who knows what would happen.]

[At the very least, Ion's going to have the decency as the last person coming through to shut the door behind them and lock it.]

I didn't mean for that to happen.
